Amarillo man claims $2M Powerball prize

An Amarillo man has claimed his $2 million Powerball prize and requested minimal publicity, the Texas Lottery said on its website.

Donald Bjork matched all of the numbers drawn in the Aug. 7 except the Powerball. Because he selected the Power Play option for an extra buck, the second-tier prize rose to $2 million, the website said.

The $425 million advertised Powerball jackpot ultimately rose to $448.4 million, based on sales. Two tickets in New Jersey and one in Minnesota matched all five numbers plus the Powerball for a share of the jackpot prize, lottery officials said.
